Background Statherin, also known as STATH, belongs to the histatin/statherin family. Statherin may play an important role in the maintenance of oral health.It prevents calcium phospate precipitation in saliva, so maintaining a high calcium level in saliva and preventing teeth from dissolving. Statherin also inhibits spontaneous precipitation of calcium phosphate salts. Thus, statherin and PRPs may prevent build-up of harmful deposits in the salivary glands and on the tooth surfaces.Statherin is a highly stable salivary protein of low molecular mass (5,380). Sabatini et al. synthesized mixed oligonucleotides based on the known amino acid sequence of statherin and used these to screen a cDNA library constructed from human parotid gland mRNA.
